A motorcycle fork connects a motorcycle's front wheel and axle to its frame, typically via a pair of triple clamps (called a triple tree). It typically incorporates the front suspension and front brake, and allows the bike to be steered via handlebars attached to the upper triple tree.
The fork and its attachment points on the frame establish the critical geometric parameters of rake and trail, which play a major role in defining how a motorcycle handles and dives during braking.
